I didn't cloth diaper my first and we traveled a lot. We bought huggies overnight diapers for the car because regular disposable diapers leak really bad when the kid is in her carseat for more than an hour. We haven't gone on many long car rides with this baby but we tend to use prefolds with econobum covers. We'll have to see how that works out as she keeps getting bigger.

So far, any traveling we've done has also included easy access to a washing machine, so I've taken my regular stash, mostly BG 4.0's and FB OS. We are taking a weekend trip soon with no access to a washing machine and I'm thinking of trying GroVia Biosoakers so that I don't have to bring home a load of dirty diapers!

I tried to use the grovia inserts in my thirsties covers but they leaked horribly! I definitely want to try the flip disposable inserts and covers because now we use regular disposables. I have never traveled with cloth but maybe next time will be brave enough to try.

To answer the question…disposables! We just started clothe diapers this year…haven't been on a road trip…not til the 2nd weekend of Feb. A little bit nervous for it! Can't wait to see the answers to this one.

For vacation, I have used gdiapers which I did not love as we were at the beach. After that, I just used my bg's and took along my charlie's soap for washing. It has always worked well for us. Would love to be able to use a system that offers a disposable insert though and I gave up on gdiapers 3 children ago.

We have used disposables, disposables with a PUL cover over top, GroBabys and occasionally for a short haul flight a regular diaper (BK fitted and PUL or wool cover). I find for a long trip I like the disposable and cover, though if I had inserts I would probably use them instead since it is carrying a wet bag of dirties in our limited carry ons that I object too.

For day travel or overnight we use our BG4.0. I am traveling for a week and we are using disposables because I can't do laundry where we are and we are doing disposables for ease of use. I wanted to try flip for our trip, but didn't order in time and don't have the money to spend on them right now.

Our son was 2 months old when we went on our first trip. We figured the first road trip was enough stress…so we used disposables. We did 3 road trips at ages 2,3,4 months and used the sposies. At 5 months I bucked up and took our cloth stash! I stuck with our BG and Flip organic and stay-dry inserts (Flip sposie insert while driving). I left the econobum at home…didn't want to deal with extra bulk. We've stuck with the cloth for traveling ever since! I should also add that all our traveling has to been to relatives homes or a beach rental home…so washer/dryer access was not an issue. I'd be nervous using a public laundry service. We're planning our first family vacation (just the 3 of us) and one of our lodging criteria is to have washer/dryer in our hotel/condo/rental home. 🙂

When we travel, we use the same system we use at home–one size pocket diapers–and 2 large wet bags (one for the clean diapers and one for the dirty ones). We have enough diapers for 3-4 days and have never been gone for longer than that.

This weekend is our first time traveling more than an hour in the car, so I have been asking myself this question all day. I am going to try the flip we have. The flip is what I always reach for, so I could use winning this one.

Our first time CDing on the road, we just brought our entire stash. There was a washer and dryer at the condo where we stayed, so we just washed our diapers as usual. We're hoping to do the same thing when we travel this summer.

Traveling with a baby couldn't get any easier with flip diapers. Just pack an extra cover or two, they are super thin, a half dozen or more disposable inserts and you are set with hardly any bulk. Love it!

When we traveled for a weekend, we just brought our cloth stash (most of it anyway), then washed when we got home. For a longer trip, we used our FLIP covers and disposable inserts during the day, and fitteds with the FLIP covers overnight. LOVE the hybrid option of the FLIPs!! And I'd love to get one of my expecting friends into cloth and/or hybrid diapering 🙂

When we travel I pack the prefolds for when we arrive, and use the pockets on the road. Though when he had to travel for my grandfather's funeral at the beginning of December, it was sudden enough that I bought a pack of chlorine-free disposables; we drove 12ish hours to Wisconsin, stayed a day, then turned around and then another 12 back. The last thing I needed was more diapers.

I always travel with my BumGenius 4.0. I don't treat traveling as any different than a normal day. We stop a lot to give the kids a break and to feed them so I change then too. I even cloth diapered flying cross country.

Many times we have used disposable when traveling because we didn't have really good travel diapers like hybrids with disposable inserts or washing places to wash my diapers. A couple times we have been able to travel with cloth and I have used mostly fitteds or prefolds with covers so that I could take less bulky parts of my stash.

We don't travel far with our 2 month old… but we still use our cloth, even for all day outings! Of course, all we use are BGs and FBs… I'd love to try the flip system. We're planning some trips for this summer–this is probably something I'd never invest in on my own, but I'd love to have some to see if it's something we need to do!

I haven't yet had a chance to travel with baby yet but when I do, I'd much rather use the disposable inserts of a hybrid system than disposable diapers but it wont be gdiapers…too many leaks. If there is any way for me to pull off sticking with cloth, I would rather do that.

I became a fan on facebook and left a comment. I subscribed to your blog ( which I LOVE). I became a fan of the founder facebook page for diapershops.com.I follow you on twitter. I LOVE Cd'ing and I am so glad I found your page/site. Please pick me! I really want to try flips!!!

I traveled for a week only 2 weeks after we started cloth. Did not have washing facilities, so we used disposables until the drive home, when we broke out the cloth because I knew I would be able to wash soon. I wish we could have used cloth, because we had 3 diaper blowouts that week!

We live on an island, so we haven't really "traveled" anywhere with the baby. However, when we fly back to the East Coast in a few months, we will be using disposables to save room in our luggage. (Only taking enough in the diaper bag for the flight, then buying diapers when we get there, and bringing back just enough for the return flight.)

I've just taken my entire stash of pockets, prefolds, and a single Flip when we travel to see family. Fortunately, I've always been able to do laundry when we stay somewhere for more than a couple days.

My daughter has now flown approximately 30,000 miles in the first year of her life and we've tried it all! I loved using our BG 4.0 and FB for shorter flights, but they were just too bulky in the carry-on for longer ones. Gdiapers with the flushable inserts were nice because they were really slim in my diaper bag, but they have only worked so-so. I guess I haven't found the perfect plan in those 30,000 miles!

My son is only 8 weeks old, so we have not traveled with him yet. When my daughter was in diapers we used 3 different methods of diapering while traveling. If we were going to visit family by car at their house, or would just be gone for a short time, we would just bring along all of our Fuzzi Bunz and accoutrement and wash them as usual there or when we returned home. If we were going somewhere by plane we would use 7th generation disposables.

If I am traveling and I will have access to a washing machine or I won't be gone long enough to need a wash, I use a mix of pockets, covers and prefolds. If I will not have a washing machine, or more importantly a dryer, I use mostly flats and covers, with a few prefolds for over night.brownch6athotmaildotcom

We are currently on vacation with my 2 week old daughter (so she could meet grandma) and we're using GroVia hybrids. We used the disposable biosoakers on the plane and the cloth soakers for the reminder of the trip. But I would love to try the Flips!

Second-time mom…CDing for the first time with my 1-month-old. We haven't gone farther than the grocery, yet. So, we have no travel experience with cloth. With my 2-year-old son, we used pampers extra absorbency (before the dry-max..our kids are allergic, which is why we're trying cloth on the baby).

If we are traveling for up to two nights, I'll bring my normal cloth stash. When we went to my parents' summer house for 2 weeks, I also brought our cloth stash (we drove). When we've traveled by air for longer than 2 nights, I've used gdiapers or seventh generation disposables. When we travel for the weekend next month I'll probably just use 7th generations for both my kids (18 months and 3 months) as I'll be on my own for the flight and can't carry too much!

I don't have any kids yet, but when I have traveled with kids, we always used disposables. It had never occurred to me how much room diapers can take up in your luggage! I could see hybrids like the flip being great for travel.

I have been CD'ing for almost 4 years now. I have traveled a lot in that time. On our 5 week trip overseas, I even took our whole lot of diapers with us and used the washing machines at the friend's house we were staying at. Mostly, if it isnt too long of a trip (as they havn't really been) I just take a large wet bag!

I typically don't use cloth when I travel any longer than a shopping/grocery trip. I will use disposables (tushies or huggies natural) 🙁 . I haven't quit gotten over the bulk (a lot more space is needed in luggage for cloth diapers both there and back) or how to handle poop (don't like the idea of dunking in someone else's toilet and disposable liners don't always catch everything). I have thought it would be nice to try one of the cloth systems that have disposables for traveling.

I have BG sized AIOs that I usually like using when we're out shopping or running errands. If we are going on a longer trip, I stuff the AIOs with a small bamboo or hemp doubler to increase absorbency and prevent compression leaks. I use mainly BG pockets for nighttime. I prefer to use diapers with a stay-dry layer during nights and long trips so that my son will be more comfortable. For going out, I prefer to take trimmer AIOs and pockets so that I can fit more in my diaper bag.

We will be cloth diapering for the first time, so with our first 2 we used sposies to travel. I love the idea of a cover with disposable inserts to keep using cloth while traveling!4philys at gmail dot com

We took our first big trip over the holidays, and because we were gone for the week w/no laundry, we made the rough decision to use 7th Generation 'sposies. What a nightmare! I have CD my DD since we brought her home from the hospital, and I couldn't stand the 'sposies. They feel like icky paper, gave DD a rash, and we had our first ever blowout at a rest stop in Delaware – gigantic and of course her backup outfit was across the rest area with daddy in the diaper bag! We were so happy to get home to our Bummis OG prefolds, Thirsties Duo covers, BG 4.0's and Tots Bots Easy Fits!

We use our regular stash when traveling, including prefolds/covers, pockets, and Softbums. If we're going to be in the car a long time I have used a fitted with a wool cover for more breathability though.

We used cloth when we went to "camp" and there was a washer and dryer there. Otherwise, we would take disposables. Recently, though, we just tried gDiapers and have been using those with cloth at home and with disposable inserts for out and about.

I have used Pampers baby dry, Gdiapers with gCloths, and flips with gRefills. I loved traveling with flips my friend lended me two for the trip with some gRefills. When I got to my destination I bought the cloth inserts for them and used them on our vacation. I like the gdiapers but they leak when he is sleeping or in the carseat. I got tired of buying pampers because they were 5 dollars more!

I am a brand new CDer (like just started on my 14 month old this week)… We do an 8 hour drive to visit grandparents every 4-6 weeks and I would like to do cloth on that long journey, but it would have to be something like flip or g diapers with disposable inserts…
